About London Locksmiths

London Locksmiths is a firm of local Master Locksmiths with a shop and showroom in Vauxhall, London. We serve the whole of London (that's the area inside the M25) and operate a 24 hour emergency callout service.

Master Locksmiths

When you call us, Alan, Dimitri or Ashley will be there straight away to help you. We drive vans with our company name on the side so you know who we are. Our Locksmiths are all members of the Master Locksmith Association (the MLA is the industry body for Locksmiths which vets and accredits Master Locksmiths). Master Locksmiths are more skilled and have been trained to a higher standard than non-Master locksmiths (very few of the locksmiths you'll find on Google are Master Locksmiths). We are a Limited company answerable to the Master Locksmiths Association should something ever go wrong.

Alan Sharpe is the owner and principle locksmith at London Locksmiths. He has been a Locksmith for nearly 35 years having started out as a trainee in 1981 in a lock shop in Brixton. He trained in the shop for 5 years learning all aspects of lock picking, key cutting and of course customer service. Alan was promoted and trained for a further 5 years learning lock fitting, emergency professional lock opening and all the other aspects of locksmithing. He gained his Master Locksmith qualification in 1998.

Dimitri is Alan's chief locksmith and has worked for the company for 15 years. Ashly arrived at London Locksmiths straight from school at 16 and was trained in-house. He has been working for London Locksmiths for ten years now.

Did you know 80% of the 'locksmiths' at the top of Google * are not genuine locksmith companies working in London. Most of them are not even registered companies (registered with Companies House). Even the vans pictured on some of these websites are fake computer generated images and the 'locksmiths' they picture are models and actors from stock libraries...

I think most people would agree this is a misleading way to do business, and goes against the principles of trust, honesty and integrity our profession is normally based on – which is why we want to point this out, now that similar tactics are being used so widely on Google that it is hard to distinguish between people pretending to be genuine firms of locksmiths in London and those who actually are.

Because our industry isn't regulated anyone can claim to be a Locksmith. To protect yourself from possible fraud, burglary or simply just bodged work, make sure to ask if the locksmith you are calling is a Master Locksmith or a member of the MLA.

London's premier firm of Locksmiths.

London Locksmiths is an equal opportunities employer.

We have an exemplary safety record and bear a Safe Contractor accreditation.

Our standards are as high as we can make them because we have
learnt that that is what our customers want. We respond immediately
to emergency callouts because we know you are waiting (probably outside and
possibly in the rain). And we guarantee all our work because we want you to
have as much faith in it as we do.

Although we work extensively with property management companies, we enjoy
working with domestic customers too. So if you need a Locksmith anywhere in London, give us
a call, we promise you won't be disappointed.
